Doctor of Business Administration D.B.A.

The proposed 57-credit, cohort-based DBA program is an applied, professional doctoral program directed at high-level executives working in China and the surrounding region. The DBA will go beyond the MBA to prepare participants to better face challenges and pursue opportunities in a complex, global business environment. The program will focus on the application rather than the creation of knowledge. A required thesis will involve an applied perspective that yields case studies or comparative studies of corporate actions. The program is a part-time, cohort-based program for fully-employed individuals. Course instruction for the DBA program will be provided by faculty members from both the Carlson School and Tsinghua SEM.
